I looked a bit further and found another way to export the tasks:

    Enter_VPN (2)
        A1: Send Intent [
Action:org.strongswan.android.action.START_PROFILE Cat:Browsable Mime
Type: Data: Extra:org.strongswan.android.VPN_PROFILE_ID :
8d582063-fb0d-4234-aa1b-23d961583dd8 Extra: Extra:
Package:org.strongswan.android Class: Target:Broadcast Receiver ]

I think that can be reformatted a bit as:

Enter_VPN (2)
        A1: Send Intent [
                                   
Action:org.strongswan.android.action.START_PROFILE
                                    Cat:Browsable
                                    Mime Type:
                                    Data:
                                   
Extra:org.strongswan.android.VPN_PROFILE_ID :
8d582063-fb0d-4234-aa1b-23d961583dd8
                                    Extra:
                                    Extra:
                                    Package:org.strongswan.android
                                    Class:
                                    Target:Broadcast Receiver
                                  ]

Exit_VPN (3)
        A1: Send Intent [
Action:org.strongswan.android.action.DISCONNECT Cat:None Mime Type:
Data: Extra:org.strongswan.android.VPN_PROFILE_ID :
8d582063-fb0d-4234-aa1b-23d961583dd8 Extra: Extra:
Package:org.strongswan.android Class: Target:Broadcast Receiver ]

Once again reformatting as:

Exit_VPN (3)
        A1: Send Intent [
                                   
Action:org.strongswan.android.action.DISCONNECT
                                    Cat:None
                                    Mime Type:
                                    Data:
                                   
Extra:org.strongswan.android.VPN_PROFILE_ID :
8d582063-fb0d-4234-aa1b-23d961583dd8
                                    Extra:
                                    Extra:
                                    Package:org.strongswan.android
                                    Class:
                                    Target:Broadcast Receiver
                                 ]

If I understand this correctly this appears to match the directions in
the Wiki, so I am puzzled why these don't work.

If nobody here sees why this isn't working I guess I will have to try
contacting tasker support.
